ACAT (Action by Christians Against Torture) - the list is now available of prisoners of conscience,  victims of torture, human rights groups and individuals under threat, and persecuted Christians, who need our support and our prayers in the form of greetings cards at Christmas by sending simple messages of goodwill and support to tell prisoners that they are not forgotten and that they are remembered in prayer.
Two lists are attached as pdf documents but also available as Word documents if you prefer, just let me know. They will also be available to download soon from our J&P Commission website. NB. Please follow ACAT’s guidelines especially on the content of your cards, religious or otherwise, and not to express political views, all in order not to cause further difficulties.
